Nobodys Side by Chess in Concert Lyrics
[FLORENCE]
What's going on around me
Is barely making sense
I need some explanations fast!
I see my present partner
In the imperfect tense
And I don't see how we can last
I feel I need a change of cast
Maybe I'm on nobody's side
And when he gives me reasons
To justify each move
They're getting harder to believe
I know this can't continue
I've still a lot to prove
There must be more I could achieve
But I don't have the nerve to leave!
[FLORENCE & SOLOISTS]
Everybody's playing the game
But nobody's rules are the same
Nobody's on nobody's side
Better learn to go it alone
Recognize you're out on your own
Nobody's on nobody's side
[FLORENCE]
The one I should not think of
Keeps rolling through my mind
And I don't want to let that go!
No lover's ever faithful
No contract truly signed
There's nothing certain left to know
And how the cracks begin to show!
[FLORENCE & SOLOISTS]
Never make a promise or plan
Take a little love where you can
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never stay too long in your bed
Never lose your heart, use your head!
Nobody's on nobody's side
[FLORENCE]
Never take a stranger's advice
Never let a friend fool you twice
[FLORENCE & SOLOISTS]
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never be the first to believe
Never be the last to deceive
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never leave a moment too soon
Never waste a hot afternoon
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never stay a minute too long!
Don't forget the best will go wrong
Nobody's on nobody's side!
What's going on around me
Is barely making sense
I need some explanations fast!
I see my present partner
In the imperfect tense
And I don't see how we can last
I feel I need a change of cast
Maybe I'm on nobody's side
And when he gives me reasons
To justify each move
They're getting harder to believe
I know this can't continue
I've still a lot to prove
There must be more I could achieve
But I don't have the nerve to leave!
[FLORENCE & SOLOISTS]
Everybody's playing the game
But nobody's rules are the same
Nobody's on nobody's side
Better learn to go it alone
Recognize you're out on your own
Nobody's on nobody's side
[FLORENCE]
The one I should not think of
Keeps rolling through my mind
And I don't want to let that go!
No lover's ever faithful
No contract truly signed
There's nothing certain left to know
And how the cracks begin to show!
[FLORENCE & SOLOISTS]
Never make a promise or plan
Take a little love where you can
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never stay too long in your bed
Never lose your heart, use your head!
Nobody's on nobody's side
[FLORENCE]
Never take a stranger's advice
Never let a friend fool you twice
[FLORENCE & SOLOISTS]
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never be the first to believe
Never be the last to deceive
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never leave a moment too soon
Never waste a hot afternoon
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never stay a minute too long!
Don't forget the best will go wrong
Nobody's on nobody's side!
